What a kanban board is

A kanban board shows your work as items moving through stages. The classic three are To do, Doing and Done. Each task sits in exactly one stage, and you move it along as the work progresses. The point is to see at a glance what is waiting, what is underway and what is finished, without reading a status report.

How it works on taskduet.com

On taskduet.com each stage is a section of a project. Name the sections after your stages, add tasks, and drag a task to the next section when it moves. The sections are stacked in one list rather than shown as side-by-side card columns, which keeps long task names readable and works the same on a phone.

• Projects and sections. One project per client or area of work, split into the stages your work actually has.
• The Due view. Everything with a due date of today or earlier, from every project, in one list. The board opens there.
• Your own columns. Dropdowns, numbers, dates and text, colored the way you want, so you can sort and filter by priority, owner or anything else.
• The detail on each task. Notes, comments, subtasks, images, a start date and a due date, and a link to the task it is waiting on.
• A link for your client. Turn on a share page and anyone with the link sees the project's tasks under their sections, with finished work struck through.
• An AI agent and Slack. Assign a task to Claude or another assistant that speaks MCP, or type /td in Slack to see what is due and add tasks.

Compared with a spreadsheet or Trello

A spreadsheet

A kanban board in Excel or Google Sheets is free, but you maintain it by hand: cutting and pasting tasks between columns, with no due dates, owners or comments unless you build them in. On taskduet.com those come with every task.

Trello

Trello is the best-known card board and has a free plan, with some features and larger teams reserved for paid plans. Choose taskduet.com if you want work laid out as a readable list, a single view of what is due across every project, and no seats to pay for.
